[CONSOLIDATED] Myanmar/Bangkok earthquake

[MrAwesomeX]

KK Garden got anyone uplorry ?

The scam calls next week frequency will tell .

All build by china contractors so dun expect good anti quake quality .

 

[galmongie]

so actually those rooftop pools got glass fence
but it wasn't strong enough to withstand the moving water, so it broke
p/s: the two people did escape

It took almost a year to clean up the WTC debris. This one at least 6 months. Unlikely can find any survivors who were in the building then.

Should ask the tiong developer to ship the debris back to tiongland after investigations are completed.

Or pappies keen to help clear the debris for the long island land reclamation?

Cos Myanmar is a slum… no one cares about them. Bkk a lot of sinkies go… need to know the updates

 

[Dr Stephen Strange]

You even got the name wrong. It's Burma.

Huh? You sure they still known as Burma? You time-travelled?

The epi centre in Mandalay Myanmar is so far from Bangkok and yet Bangkok is 1000km away got building collapsing... I was wondering if an epi centre is Sumatra Indonesiaa which is 500km away, how will it affect Singapore building, especially those under construction. Plus now our bto and condo, many are 40 stores high.. will it able to withstand if an earthquake struck somewhere in Sumatra which 500km away.. our SCDF should think ahead and advise what is the drill, evacuate from building or hide in bomb shelter?

where were you yesterday in BKK? your first time experience earthquake?

I was swimming in Grand Diamond Suites during the earthquake. My first time experiencing an earthquake.

The water rose v high till like 3m. I was at first thinking I was experiencing vertigo then after seeing ppl screaming running, I quickly brought my son n father in law down in our swimming clothes. Fortunately my wife brought down some clothes fr us.

Then on the streets drama fr like 2-3hrs till calm was issued.

They got the wave pool experience.

Even if the glass broke, there's usually a partition at the bottom no?

Looks like lego construction similar to our BTO.

if sg got such tremors above 7, how many BTOs will collapse?

Think ahead? That’s not what for government is good at doing.

Must happen first then know it can happen.

I thought BKK closed all airports and no flights in/out. U felt anything when in the airport?

All flight as per normal. Never feel anything when in airport. Today all back to normal in Chiangmai shopping mall opened.

For now unlikely to have one big one coming.

 

[pwongkk]

Dun scare me leh. I stay 35th in FC

No faith in tiong construction.

Then it's built on reclaimed land, which the ground had not fully settled, the construction starts.

The land MBS stands on had been reclaimed for more than 30 years before they start building.

Same for T5 site.

Think perhaps the body of water in between acts as a sort of cushioning effect maybe.

I remember Sumatra Indonesia 2004 earthquake that caused Tsunami as far as East Africa.. I feel the my HDB shaking in one of the aftershock..that time not many 40 storeys BTOs... wonder if these 40 storeys BTOs can tahan the shocks if another earthquake of that magnitude occurs..
